"BJP demands Chief Minister KCR to visit Gandhi Hospital and to see the plight of these doctors and also to see the plight of COVID patients," he said.

Rao further said, "We are asking pointed questions to CM KCR - why are you not testing more in the state from day one? why are you restricting the testing practices and testing centres in the state? Why are you limiting the treatment for COVID patients only in one hospital which is Gandhi Hospital. Why are you risking the lives of the people of the state when the infection is so high."
